I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

Big oof. I was the manic pixie dream ~~girl~~boyfriend for a bunch of people in the '10s. It was really easy for people to play with you for a while then throw the toy away when they found out that "manic" also comes with severe depression and sometimes real, actual, scary mania. : p
